IMPROVEMENT IN PAPERING--MACI-IINESV.

The vSchedule referred to in theselLetters Patent and making part of the same of reference marked thereon, making apart of this specification. v

' 'lhe nature of my invention consists in lhe construction and arrangement of a machine for paperiug walls and eeilingsfas will be hereinafter fully set forth.

ln order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same,

I will now proceed to describe its construction 'and operation, referringr to the annexed drawing, in which- Figure 1 is a longitudinal vertical section, and Figure 2 isa f rontview ot' the machine.

Figure 3 is a view of the mechanism by which the red holding thc paper is kept in place.

A represents the frame of my machine.

l5 is the driving-wheel, which turns the cog-wheel (l, and this wheel turns another wheel, D.

The wheel C is pl'aced upon t-he journal of the roller ll, which runs in the paste-box G, and has crevices or iudentations in it sufficient to hold enough paste to paste the paper to make it stick to the wall.

The wheel I) is lattached to the journal of the roller Il, which iscovered with rubber or other pliable material, and presses the paper evenly o n the roller E.

The roller H has its journal bearings in slides, a (l, moving in thcframe A, and are held down by a spring, b, which may be tightened or loosened by the screw d.

The paste-box G, which is supported by suitable means in the frame A, is provided with a lid, I, fastened by the fastenings c e, as shown, and rendered tight by the use of rubber, f, or other suitable material, to keep it from leaking.

Rubber, t', or other material is, also, pnt in close on each side and each end ot' the roller E, to keep the paste from leaking. out, said rubber being held in place on each side of the roller by metal plates, 7l., as shown.

It k are knives to trim the paper, the knife 7a being made fast on the' end of the roller E, and the knife h movableon the roller' H, and made to press tight against the knife by means of a spring, mi, of rubber, or other material, on the outside of the knife.

l This spring 'm may be tightened or loosened by a screw between it and the frame A.

g g Aare handles attached to a cross-bar, connecting the two sides ofthe frame A.

On one side of the frame A are two small wheels, 'It n, to roll against a straight-edge, to 'guide the machine, and the wheels 11 y, as shown iu fig. 1, roll against the wall, and keep the pastebox from touchl ing it.

At the rear end of the frame A is pivoted another frame, J, which carries the brush K,.said vbrush following the machine, and 4pressing the paper on the This brush is held against the paper by means of a spring, L, which is tightened or loosened at will by the screw s, so as to make the brush press heavy or light, as may be desired.

In the front end of the frame A is placed a rod, t,

having screw-threads on each end, for moving the disks or angesv t', on the same. The .roll of paper is placed on this rod, and, by moving the flanges c c, the paper is readily adj usted to make the knives k 7." trim ot` just the blank edge.

The rodtis placed in notches onthe frame, .and heldby hooks xx, as shown in tig. 3.

The whole machine is to be made of as light material as possible, so as not to be heavy to handle.

A crank, y, may be attached to the wheel G, so as to run the machine by hand, when Athe wheel-B cany not be rolled on the wall. p

The machine, in all cases, is to run from the brush vthat is, the brush tbllows'afterthe machine.

Having thus fully described my invention,

What I claim as new, "and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isy 1. The paste-box G, provided with lid I, rubberf,

rubber strips i t', and metal plates It h, all snbstantially as and for the purposes herein set forth. l

2. The roller E, provided with crevices or indentations around its 'entire surface, and used in eombination with the'paste-box Gr and pliable roller H, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

3. The knife 7.', attached to the end of the roller E, in

combination with the movable knife '76', held against the end of the roller H, by means of the spring m,

substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.- Y

4. 'Ilie pivoted frame .1,.with brush K, spring L,.

and screw s, constructed and arranged substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

5. The rodt', with screw anges o v .placed-in notches on the frame A, and held' -by the hooks a: x,

substantially as and for the purposes hereinsetforth.

In testimony' that I claim'the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand this 22d day of June, 1870.
